XML RPC request/response standards

Hi,

 

I want to know if the XML request formed using Apache XML RPC library is
null-terminated?

Furthermore, is it a part of XML RPC standards to have null terminated
request/response?

 

 

The C library our server side team is using just handles null terminated
requests so not sure if it is part of XML RPC standards or what?

 

I need help on this urgently.

 

Thanks,

-Preeti

It certainly isn't.

No. In contrary, the NUL character is explicitly invalid in any XML document.

I don't know how your C library works. If it is parsing raw HTTP
requests, then it is wrong. If the C library assumes, for example,
that *you* are parsing the HTTP requests data, delegate it to the
library and terminate the data by adding a NUL character, then that
would work.

No it is not part of the spec.
